I bought a laptop HP Envy Premium with Windows 8 on it. I wanted to install also Ubuntu 13.10 on it. I partitioned from windows the disk creating space for Linux. Then booting from a live ubuntu on a usb stick i installed on that space UBuntu. Now I at the boot only windows 8 is executed and grub does't appear. So I rebooted from live usb I installed boot-repair in order to run it. THe problem now is that boot repair gets stuck in the initial phase. In particular in the phase when it's running os-prober. Here is some info maybe useful obtained running boot-repair with '-d' : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6816377/ . Thanks in advance!

  • Assuming UEFI/Secure Boot, did you read Installing Ubuntu on a Pre-Installed Windows 8? – edwin Jan 25 '14 at 22:34
  • Hi edwin! yes i did read that and it seems like it all sums up on disabling secure boot which i did. The problem for me is that boot-repair then gets stuck and i can't fix the boot process. – Gian Pietro Jan 25 '14 at 23:25
  • I am not sure about what this means but if I remove the usb stick while the live distro is already executed and I run boot-repair after it doesn't get stuck anymore and it allows me to apply the changes boot-repair suggests. The problem is now that this changes are not effective in particular i don't see grub at boot time but windows 8 boots instead. – Gian Pietro Jan 26 '14 at 00:13
